Resilience for Students and Young Adults

Embodied Resilience

for students and young adults

Over the last decade we have been witnessing a worrying increase in depression and anxiety amongst adolescents and young adults. Universities are experiencing a surge in student anxiety, mental breakdowns and depression.

Students have a lot to deal with, they have a lot of pressure related to their studies and the stress of the exams themselves. On top of that, a lot of them struggle with the transition from home and the familiarity of school to life at Uni with all its unknown and social pressures. Later they must prepare for the transition into the world of work, which can be even more daunting and unpredictable.

Resilience courses and mentoring are a positive step toward a better mental health and resilience. The course’s objective is to support students in learning how to cultivate their own strengths, build resilience, and acquire a toolkit of positive habits that will equip them for life.

We prioritise working with charities and Universities. If you want to find out more, receive a brochure or book Stephanie in for a presentation, please get in touch.

The course is designed around the three pillars of resilience mindset, relating to cognitive resilience, optimism and problem solving; resilience of body, relating to regulation of the nervous system and ability to take positive actions; and resilience of heart, relating to finding support, foster positive relationships and emotions.
